Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

A number of commentators were calling Melbourne's win over Adelaide "season-defining" and I wish that were true but the reality is that our season to date has been defined by other things, such as inj

If we win we'll be 6th (if Carlton win) or 7th (if Freo win) above Tigers, Dogs and Saints. Get it done and get it done early Demons, don't disappoint.

I'm sick to death of being beaten year after year by the whinging Scott brother's marsupials.  Time to put another hoodoo to bed.  Make 'roadkill' of 'em Dees!

10 frees to 22.

they got 220% of the frees that we got. I hope Nicholls has a backup career as it is only a matter of time until he gets the sack for the putrid job he does

Without the histrionics....

Weid MUST go back to Casey. Oscar Mc as well.

We need our best footballers in. No more games on potential. 

That game was there for the taking. They had lead in their legs and we pizzed it away.

I think the club should petition the AFL to not have Nicholls ever umpire a Melbourne game again. I am not one to usually lay blame on the umpires, but Nicholls cost us the game today. No doubt.

Lewis pretty average today also....[censored] weak effort Demons....losing the match in the first quarter then trying to make a game of it after.  So predictable when a win was in the offing and going in as favorites. Had a chance for finals and blew it

Bugg should never play for Melbourne again. Wasted so many good build ups. 

He flubbed stuff, at least he had the opportunity to do that. Kent is the worry for mine.

I don't know about never play again. But Bugg should remain at Casey as a depth player, and only be called on if we really need him. There is no position for Bugg in this side. He isn't a great kick, and he cannot break into the midfield. I think both Bugg and Melksham should remain in the VFL. They may look above the VFL, but they aren't good AFL players.

Our kids try. 

But they don't have enough leadership on the field. 

I appreciate all of Watts hard work when the rucks went down. But hes not tough enough. Weid is just a kid. Hannan will be good. 

Very disappointing. No one flew the flag

This type of umpiring happens every time Nicholls is umpiring our matches. I hope we request him to no longer umpire our matches. Bias [censored] who puts every 50/50 call against us. His been doing it for a while

Garry Lyon said "Melbourne get too comfortable, and only turn up when they are confronted with a challenge".

I agreed with it then, and even more so now.

Twice today, we meekly coughed up a 4 goal lead, got a rocket, and responded. And ultimately couldn't overcome the lead we allowed North to take.

But you know we will. . Thought the targeting of Higgins was part of the problem in the 1st. Lost a bit of focus and in the end did not unsettle Higgins enough. although I think he kicked 4 points.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
